PrinceWatercress plays Kirby Super Star - Part 12 of 14


We're finished with Milky Way Wishes...but there's one more game to go...


Mecheye


This planet is like Revenge of Meta-Knight all over again.

The first section ahs you moving to the right and using barrel cannons here and there, while the second section has you hitting switches.

The switch with the block above it can be hit with beam. This will allow you to walk above the floor full of hot burning engines and spikes.

The door in mid-air that you will have to brave a wind current to enter will take you to the Yo-Yo ability.

Near the end of the section section, there are some switches that you can hit. If you have Yo-Yo, hitting them all is easier.

The third section is a lift that you can take to mini-boss fight chambers. Beating mini-bosses will net you food, the exit and the Plasma ability after the mini-boss at the very top. The top floor also contains a section where you can break a bomb block with Plasma to get a Maxim Tomato and three 1-Ups, but you can use Fighter to get then as well.

The boss here is Heavy Lobster. Same strategies apply.

Halfmoon


The first section has a very strong wind current moving you to the right. There is a warp star that you can take to the end of the section. You might as well take it, as the rest of it is just flying and avoiding shock titles and has nothing hidden.

The second section is a bit of a maze. There is one area where there is a star block blocking a path to the bottom. This leads to a door where you can get the Mirror ability.

The third section is a place with spiked balls that will shock you. There is nothing hidden here, so you might as well use the warp star unless you need the food and the 1-Up. After beating Chef Kawasaki and the Fighter mini-boss, you'll head to the fourth section.

The fourth section has a wind current that will push Kirby upwards. There is a door under some blocks that can be destroyed with an ability, and the door will lead you to the Ninja ability, which is the last ability we need to collect.

The Computer Virus from The Great Cave Offensive is the boss here, but you have three new battles. The first is the witch, which is the same as last time, but you have an evil knight who will send knives down on you, attack with stars as well as ice magic. If the Evil Knight stores energy, attacks will do more damage, and will also do damage if you block. After that you'll face a red dragon dragon that will use fire attacks and send boomerang-like cutters at you while pushing you back. It also has a short-range eight-way boomerang attack as well as the ability to retreat to increase its defense. These battles are absolutely easy, thankfully.

Nova

Once you beat all seven stages, you'll be able to go to Nova. When you meet Nova, you'll be able to wish for the Sun and Moon to stop fighting, but Marx bumps Kirby out of the way to use the wish to take control of Popstar. You'll find out that this was all a plot by Marx to take over Popstar. Kirby uses the seven stars to create his own space fighter to take him directly to Nova.

As Nova approaches Popstar, the Sun and Moon push Nova back. Go up to Nova and press Y to start the final stage.

Here, you'll be in horizontal shooter mode. Use the Control Pad to move around and keep pressing the A, B, X or Y to keep shooting, and make sure not to touch enemies, walls, floors or ceilings. You can have a helper here and have two-player simultaneous action as always, though the helper will always be Birdon (the Wing helper) after this short segment.

You'll soon face teh boss, which is the core of Nova. You'll have to destroy all of the cannons in the columns to destroy the core, and you may have to go through the last one and take damage in order to destroy it. Once you destroy the core, you'll face Marx. Marx has several attacks.

When Marx is in the center, he can shoot out four projectiles that curve forward and then back like a boomerang. These can be inhaled and used as projectiles.

If Marx goes up and drops small green balls, remember where they are and be ready to block in case you are where they landed at the wrong time, as the spiky vine columns they create can hurt.

When you see the flashing black-and-yellow circle in the floor, stay on the move so Marx doesn't hit you from the bottom of the floor as he rises up.

If Marx teleports to the side and is lit up, fly upwards and stay there immediately to avoid getting hit by the arrows Marx shoots out. 

If Marx flies to the side, he will drop a steel ball. When it is lined up with you, it will shoot out two ice balls to the sides, and those balls will freeze you if they hit you.

When Marx teleports to ground level, fly up immediately! Otherwise, the mouth beam he shoots out will hit you.

Marx will teleport a couple of times. He will then shoot out do the purple crescent boomerangs again, then do all the attacks at random points.

After losing more than half his health, Marx will introduce a new attack where he quickly bobs up and down before splitting in half and creating a portal in his wake, If you are too close to it, you'll be sucked in and you will lose health.

When you beat Marx, Marx will fall into Nova and ultimately destroy Nova. Kirby, the Sun and the Moon return to Popstar, then you get the credits. However, there is one more game...
